Their line-up doesn’t look to flash, so I get the long odds. We have proven over the past month that we can still put on big wins, even without our star spine. Respectfully, even at $9 I wouldn’t go near the Titans this week. And I say that with a pretty solid history of pessimism :lol:

if we don't do any handling errors, Our forward pack should be able to walk it up the field against their forward pack.

Seems like a humble lad. Hopefully he makes an impression over the next month and turns the opportunity into something. 190cm + 109kg. 26yo so a late starter - but that is not a limiting factor based on Bellamy's track record.

I'd be stoked if he got a run.

Craig said in a media appearance today, that the Storm doctors cleared Munster a week and a half ago and had he been available for the Storm game this week, he would have played.

Obviously good news, but the messaging on this injury has been so back and forward...

At his press conference Craig also said that Trent Loiero would play. I wonder if that means that Tom Eisenhuth hasn't recovered from his concussion last week.

Craig also said that Ryan Papenhuyzen had only just started doing some training and was still a few weeks away.

I thought I read something similar last week and then a day later it was a completely different story.

I do wonder around this time of year if stories are made up in part to create anything newsworthy for origin.

This game is ultimately a test of both team’s depth. Unfortunately for the Titans, I think our depth is far superior.

Storm 40
Titans 10
